Seeing Timons turn around and leave after teasing, the two girls kept beating the restraints that they could not break through. Amidst their loud calls, Ash walked in the direction of Itsuki.
"Is this your strategy, Timons?"
Spider Gagi, who was holding his hands on his chest, was arrogant as a warrior, so he naturally sneered at Ash's actions.
"What a despicable approach. We can kill the three of them without this!"
"You are already a villain, so don't pretend to be serious and despicable. Also, guys who talk too much will usually get slapped in the face by themselves in the end."
Besides, what I did was not for them.
"If you have any objections, just watch me come."
"Hmph, then let me see what this strange guy can do."
"Sunshin, in times of crisis, use the power of Shiny Tambourine quickly and save everyone in one go!"
Popuri on the side saw everyone suffering, and immediately shouted anxiously.
"This is the only way! Gather together, flower power, Shiny Tambourine... Eh?"
Itsuki, who had summoned Shiny Tambourine, was just about to twist his slender waist and launch a special attack to purify Desertrian, when he saw Ash's eyes through the helmet, and even the pairs of compound eyes on both sides were looking at his whole body up and down. This subtle feeling as if being peeped made Itsuki's body couldn't help but feel hot.
"W-What are you doing... This weird look is too rude?"
"No, I didn't observe carefully before, but if I take a closer look now..." Ash narrowed his eyes slightly and looked away from Cure Sunshine's suit, which exposed her navel and miniskirt. The level of exposure was rare for Precure. "I think I have seen several kinds of Pretty Cure, beautiful, gorgeous, cute, handsome, and wearing heavy makeup."
"Itsuki, what do you want me to say about your suit... it's the most astringent among them!"
"Eh, eh? eh——————!" Itsuki, who didn't react for a moment, actually heard what Ash said, and immediately let out a very girlish cry, and the energy focused on the tambourine in his hand also dissipated.
"You usually dress like a man, but I didn't expect the suit to be unexpectedly bold. You have other pursuits in this area. I didn't notice it at all in the past."
Even though she knew that Ash was probably just disturbing her mind, but even if she forced herself to calm down, the girl's cheeks still turned red despite her control. Even though as a martial arts practitioner, he had experienced training in his will and had been hurt by Ash's violent words not long ago, hearing his words now still made the throbbing girl feel confused.
"You, are you complimenting me?!"
"Ah, that's right."
Itsuki's face blushed even more.
I... actually admitted it like that!? You say I'm astringent or something, that's not true! I just like cute things... Wait, Popuri said that Pretty Cure's battle clothes are usually transformed by the inner longing of the transformer. Could it be that I have misunderstood cute things? But Mr. Timons actually said such things. Could it be that he has always looked at me like this after my transformation? I hate it!
Thinking of this, Itsuki felt a little excited and a little bit shocked.
"That's not right, sunshine! Tambourine, tambourine in your hand!"
"Flaw!"
Even though the elf issued a warning, it was too late. At the moment when Itsuki was distracted and released the energy, the spider silk shot from Ash's wrist stuck to the tambourine. With a pull, it changed its owner and came to Ash's hand.
"Eh... Eh?!" Seeing Ash showing off and making jingle noises, Itsuki's eyes suddenly widened. "Mr. Timons, why do you always use despicable tricks today!"
"Why... because your recent battles really lack tension." He beat the tambourine in his hand and sounded the notes. With his back to the sunshine behind him, Ash opened his arms and walked towards Itsuki in a posture of disowning his relatives. In the eyes of the girl, Rider's figure looked more and more sinister.
"Don't you miss the teaching days in the past? Then I will teach you something more. If you are an enemy, don't expect your opponent to be gentle to you!"
I just taught you not to forget about fighting on the battlefield. If you forget, I will review it for you.
"When fighting seriously, no matter who the opponent is, if you can't attack with murderous intent, you can't really defeat the enemy!"
"Mr. Timons, I don't want to fight you with such a mood!"
"Then just drown yourself with this kindness!"
Throwing Shiny Tambourine in his hand over the head of tool Desertrian, Ash walked up to Itsuki and put his fist in front of her eyes.
"How about it, little Itsuki, this is your disadvantage~"
"Huh——"
After exhaling, she tensed her body and took a step forward with her right foot. Her hands were placed in front of her like sharp knives in a fighting posture. The dust around the girl's feet automatically floated up without the wind under the high fighting spirit she aroused.
"Even so, I must let you see it...!"
I will not fight you with murderous intent, but I will still win. As evidence, I will let you see the power you taught me!
"Yes, that look is nice!"
At the same time as the words fell, Ash rotated his sweeping leg from top to bottom like a battle ax and struck the blocking wrist. The two collided and made a loud sound like gongs and drums ringing a battle cry. The confrontation between good and evil began in an instant.
Chapter 98 Welcome to the world beyond Zi Gongxiang
Ash's right hand struck several punches at Itsuki's chest like shells. The girl's waving palms caught them one by one and pushed them to the side. After breaking the man's attack with skill, Itsuki aimed at the flaw left by the man's attack, pushed out his palm with his backhand, and slapped Ash's whole body back several meters.
At the last moment, he used the smallest amount of strength to release most of his strength, and Ash's face showed an expression of excitement accordingly.
"Strength, strength is still increasing~!"
Standing up from a squatting position, Ash patted the breastplate with billowing smoke, and praised the girl without hesitation.
Logically speaking, Ash, who had just acquired a large wave of Dark Echo and was constantly absorbing Itsuki Dark Echo through battles, should have temporarily ignored his aging condition and his physical strength in excellent condition should be stronger than before. However, the current Itsuki was still extremely powerful and suppressed him.
"Strength, speed... the power of anger makes you stronger! The effect is really good."
Facing the Meidoin-ryu combo from Itsuki, Ash instantly chose to surrender his body to his instincts. Ash quickly dodged and swung his body like a boat in the rainstorm, and the red figure flashed and danced in the storm of fists and feet.
"The person I am now was also created by you, wasn't it?"
"Really, then I'm really happy, hahaha!"
"Mr. Timons...Timons, answer me!" Itsuki's voice was filled with sadness from the original respect, and as the battle went on, it was gradually filled with more anger. "If you said we were enemies, why did you do those things in the first place... What meaning does the relationship between us have to you? Is it just your toy!"
"Yes, why..." He blocked his chest with his hands, and a spiderweb-shaped energy ripple protected Ash in front of him. Facing Itsuki's fist that flickered with golden light, he was knocked away on his back. He lay down among the smashed ruins. Ash asked and answered questions to himself in a leisurely manner. "As for the reason, I'm also looking for it."
"Do you want to keep saying such meaningless words and want to escape?!" It seemed that the emptiness in Ash's words hit a painful point, and Itsuki attacked even more angrily. "If you are a man, answer me seriously!"
"Peng————!"
A carp turned over and left its original position. Ash looked at the changing expressions on Itsuki's face and narrowed his eyes.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear this."
"I saw the possibility of becoming a hero in you, and you were so determined that you really became the new Pretty Cure, which makes me very satisfied!"
"As for you asking why I'm so nice to you... originally I thought that the power of love can make you, Pretty Cure, stronger."
Itsuki was stunned when he heard Ash's answer, and even the movements of his hands stopped.
"Then, why did you suddenly change your mind again?"
Itsuki didn't want to believe it, because she clearly felt that when Timons was with her and accepted her convenience, the happy feeling was all sincere!
"Who knows..." Ash's tone also paused, and then continued to change his words as if nothing had happened. "Maybe I changed my mind. After all, love is too unstable as a source of power. For example, if you look at the two of them, if there is something wrong with their relationship, love will become an obstacle, right?"
What Ash was talking about was naturally the two people who were imprisoned on one side. At this time, Itsuki wanted to refute but was speechless.
"Besides, little Itsuki~ don't you think our hostile relationship is pretty good now? After all, I'm in a hurry these days."
"So if you become angrier, let me see if it can make you stronger too?"
"You lie————!!!"
Itsuki's full force burst out in an instant and turned into golden light, surrounding itself and hitting Ash with all its strength.
She will never agree with Ash's remarks that trample on her feelings!
Itsuki's attack in anger took it to a new level. It possessed such powerful power that Ash could not avoid it, but the anger also affected her judgment, completely exposing Itsuki's flaws.
"The loopholes are wide open, you can't practice martial arts well Itsuki!"
The higher level of skilled combat experience caused Ash to kneel to the ground the moment before he was hit. The moment before the back of his head was about to hit the ground, Ash volleyed up, raised his feet and put them on Itsuki's waist and stared out with all his strength.
"Spider!"
After being kicked into the air, Itsuki, whose attack was frustrated, was about to adjust his posture when he was hit hard on the back again and fell to the ground with a cry.
"Don't forget I'm still here!"
In mid-air, the fist was burning with flames. Spider Gagi had just completed a combined attack with Ash.
"The new precure is no big deal. If I can't even deal with a sneak attack, it won't make my blood burn!"
I was careless...
Itsuki, who stood up from the ground with his body trembling, only then remembered that there was another enemy here.
Countless small metal spiders shot out from Ash's spider web cape and attacked her. The girl immediately opened Sunflower Shield in front of her, but instead allowed Spider Gagi to bypass the shield and launch a powerful blow while she was being dragged down.
"Spider Gagi special attack!"
The flaming fist hit the girl's shoulder, which was barely able to defend itself. Itsuki, who was actually a bit reluctant in one-on-one, quickly jumped away in pain, only to see a white silk thread wrapped around her wrist, forcefully pulling herself towards Ash.
"!"
Itsuki, whose wrist was entangled, flew towards Ash. With this speed, Itsuki punched Itsuki in mid-air. He roared and punched Ash hard.
Now, he shouldn't be able to escape!
When the girl was so young, she saw Ash's figure flickering. A slight deviation caused the girl's fist to rub off sparks against her breastplate without causing direct damage.
"I'm the one who taught you, so you don't need to be so surprised."
Ash, who changed his fighting style and became more serious, then raised his elbow backwards, faced Itsuki who had a huge flaw in the attack, swung his fist with a sound of breaking through the air, and completely buried it into the girl's smooth belly.
"Guh-!"
The unimaginable pain caused the girl's body to bend into a shrimp shape for an instant. The feeling of pain filling her entire face made her face and eyes turn red instantly. Then she opened her mouth and spat all the acidic water on Ash's shoulder armor.
"Why... why... such..."
The painful feeling made the girl lose control of half of her body. Ash let Itsuki approach her arms like a hug. He raised his hand and gently inserted it into the girl's golden hair. He stroked the girl's hair and then leaned his chin on her shoulder and whispered a few words softly.
"Welcome to the world beyond Zi Gongxiang."
"Next, you can't do it unless you become stronger."
Chapter 99 Itsuki, defeated!
"Blossom Tact (Blossom Tact)!"
"Marine Tact (Mraine Tact)!"
The two people who summoned their weapons tried their best to hit the transparent cover in front of them. However, no matter whether they knocked or hit with all their strength or used Pretty Cure skills, they were unable to break through the shackles of the cover. Their hands turned into Desertrian with the left and right sides of the glass cover joined together, and they watched the performance of the two people indifferently.
"Yeah - no way!"
Frightened, she dodged the flower energy bombs that bounced around in the protective shield, and a girl's scream came from Lei's mouth.
Whether it was Pretty Cure's all-out attack or the "Forte Wave" guided by a magic wand, they all showed no response to the cover they didn't know what to make of. Even because Ash had mistakenly applied an "anti-energy coating" on the inner wall, random explosions would run the risk of being injured by his own power.
"How could this be...Itsuki! Sunshine!"
Seeing that Itsuki, who was forced to defend himself, was hit in the lower body by another move and then rolled and flew away, the anxious two people suddenly let out urgent sounds.
Now Itsuki is injured and has to resist two attacks by himself. How can he survive at such a disadvantage? We have to help her.
"Lei... Blossom, just use that move!"
Seeing the hand extended by Erika, Lei gritted her teeth and took the initiative to hold it without hesitating too much. The current situation must be such that she has to put other things aside!
As long as two people combine their strength and mind, they can use the combined attack skill "Fortissimo (Super Sonic Wave)" with purifying power and power countless times greater than their own special moves. If you use this move, you will definitely be able to break the barrier!
"Well... for Itsuki... I'm going to do it!"
"Pretty Cure Floral Power Fortissimo! (Pretty Cure Flower Energy Super Fortissimo)" x2
The two shouted angrily, and the magic wands in their hands were also aligned side by side. The transparent crystal on the top flashed with brilliant light, but there was no energy response from the combined attack skill. The two of them just raised the magic wands and held their hands together, with their mouths wide open, and they were embarrassed on the spot.
"Fo... Fortissimo? Fortissimo!"
The two people who did not believe in evil shouted several times, but no matter how they shouted the names of the moves and immediately put on various exaggerated and funny postures, they could not successfully execute the special move they wanted.
"Why, why did it fail at such a critical time?"
Just when the two of them could only watch Itsuki being beaten violently, giving up on themselves in the face of the powerless situation and about to cry, the voices of the two elves Shiffre and Coffret sounded like thunder in their ears!
"It's not a malfunction. It's because the two of you are at odds at the moment, so you can't use the combined attack skill!"
